What did I do?

I don't understand why my wife is so pissed at me.

All I did was tell her she needed to put on some lipstick.

um... that pretty much means that you told her she wasn't looking great and needs the aid of makeup to enhance her looks.

My bad - I shot this one overy everyone's head.

She and I were joking about Sarah Palin earlier. Then, before bed she asked her nightly obligatory "do I look fat?" question.

That is when I told her she needed to put some lipstick on.

As in: "Lipstick on a Pig".

She growled at me, then laughed.

It's not what you said, it's how and when you said it:
"wow, you need lipstick" = you are UGLY without it

Bad joke.

Actually it was a Sarah Palin reference that was the result of her asking me if she looked fat. She asks almost every night. She does not look fat. I usually say "You look great."

This time I said she needed some lipstick. (As in Lipstick on a pig.) She growled and then laughed.

Political junkie humor.

Must have really been a bad joke.

If you didn't get it, I really missed the mark.

We are political junkies, and have been seeing and talking about Sarah Palin a lot lately. We had just watched a lot of news about the lipstick on a pig. We are harmless, because we usually cancel out each other's vote.

She is always asking me if I think she looks fat. I don't. And I always say the only three safe words.... "You look Great!"

But last night I told her she needed lipstick. She growled, then laughed.

Oh well, it isn't good humor if I have to exPalin it.
